Okkervil River - Goodnight Irene lyrics
[Okkervil River - Goodnight Irene lyrics]
She told me that you was too young
I wish dear Lord that I'd
Never seen your face
I'm sorry you ever were born
Irene good night irene good night
Good night Irene, good night Irene
I guess you're in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I haves a great notion
Jumping in, into the river and drown
Irene good night irene good night
Good night Irene, good night Irene
I guess you're in my dreams
Stop ramblin' and stop gamblin'
Quit staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside bright
Irene good night irene good night
Good night Irene, good night Irene
I guess you're in my dreams
I love Irene, God knows I do
I love her 'til the sea runs dry
If Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die
